    Tangentially related, I got an androv full-spectrum lamp several years ago for some color work. It was one of the few true "full spectrum" bulbs you can get for cheap which are dec…

    I'm not sure why people are surprised. Google has been downright evil for quite a while now. They do this in all their products, down to the point of intentionally crippling them. …

    Thank you for your work. I'm currently a tridactyl user. However I'd like to point out that none of these replacements can currently compete with the previous extensions in term of…

    I was under the impression that these automated systems had "reduce personnel" as their primary goal, more than speed. This would explain why the bad, but still automated, scanning…

    These seems to be linux's own mitigations against L1TF. There's no mention about microcode being updated here, which I assume isn't the case. I assume the microcode update could be…

    I already did it, and I'm really glad I can do that since I have no use for S0I3 and I'd rather have the extended battery lifetime. However on windows there's no way to disable thi…

    How can you compare two different laptops? I'm comparing windows and linux on the same laptop. I personally use debian unstable with a tiling window manager (awesomewm) without a s…

    This is a blatant lie that needs to stop. I've been using linux exclusively on laptops for more than 10 years. The first 5 with the HP EliteBook like, currently with Lenovo X1 line…

    Every QML application I've tried was comparable to Electron in my eyes so far: slow and full of little usability bugs. This started to be really noticeable for me in the linux worl…
